Star of Bethlehem

The Star of Bethlehem was the first origami that I tried from the book ‘Christmas Origami‘. The book is authored by John Montroll and has quite a collection of origami for Christmas, all of them made from a single sheet of paper.

The Star of Bethlehem was not very difficult to make, though I am not sure of how to make the arms stand right, without glueing the corners. I am making the 8-pointed star next and hope that it will come out better than this one did.

Pearlie, maybe you can try glue-ing a small piece of wire or a flexible stick down the fold of each star point (from the inside) to make it stand correctly…I hope that this helps…I love the star btw :)
